r4 He hasn't surprised anyone with his policies. If you were actually paying attention to his campaign, all of this is what he campaigned on. The only sticky part is the mess at the border, but that's because all the handwringing from always-online Democrats are expecting him to govern like he has more than the narrowest margin in the Congress and can implement immigration reform that somehow fixes the problem of a bunch of people trying to get into the US because their own countries are falling apart. All of that stuff takes time to fix, so I'm not mad that he hasn't made some magical improvement.
I'm guessing, assuming you are an actual Biden voter, that you weren't paying attention to what he campaigned on.

The media covered up Joe's incompetence during the length of the campaign and as long into the administration as they possibly could. It's not been that long ago since the press corp's idea of a hard hitting question was what flavor ice cream he preferred.
But they could lie to the public only so far.

Democrats have zero interest in presenting a united front either to the electorate or to the Republicans. They'll sacrifice anyone or anything at the altar of political correctness just to make sure absolutely no one is offended. When you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one.

When you compare the men's actions as President during those years it is hands down Biden who has gotten the worst coverage. Trump got a lot of negative press but he did a lot of negative things to deserve it.

What's probably happening here is that words like "high" and "rise" are viewed as favorable by the algorithm, even if they're taken completely out of context (e.g. "higher taxes" or "stock futures rise"). 3/
Nate Silver @NateSilver538 · Dec 6 These are the articles the algorithm found, out of more than 40K stories, were the most favorable toward Biden. It's just totally random. Lots of stories about the stock market. Many have nothing to do with Biden at all ("Haiti President Assassinated At Home, Wife Wounded"). 2/

Here are the articles that the algorithm deems *least* favorable to Biden, by contrast. These are a little bit more on the mark, but still, mediocre at best. Again, lots of stuff about stock or commodity prices. And lots of polling stories, e.g. about Biden's approval rating. 4/
Nate Silver @NateSilver538 · Dec 6 Replying to @NateSilver538 I know some of you would say the media should have fewer polling-driven stories. I mostly disagree, I guess. But, I don't think it reflects some sort of bias if Biden's approval rating drops 5 points and the news outlet writes about that, and the framing is mostly negative. 5/

If we are just comparing 2020 Trump to 2021 Biden, absolutely Biden has gotten more bad press. By 2020 people had already endured years of Trump's reign and the pandemic dominated the news cycle.

R4 Isn’t a Biden voter. If she was, she is a fucking dimwit cunt who didn’t pay attention AT ALL during the campaign. Biden has so far passed legislation that already is or will be of hugely positive consequences for virtually every citizen. The American Rescue Plan and BIF bill are huge fucking deals on their own. Huge. Add whatever he gets from BBB and he is the most consequential president since FDR.
The corporate media isn’t making money off of him so they’re pissed.

People like R4 is the only reason why Biden won. People failed to really dig at his policies, and now say they "regret" voting for him. His policies were always there. The issue here is that people simply voted for "not Trump" regardless who the other Democrat candidate was. That's the problem with some Democrats. They assume their candidate is always a good one, just for the sake of being Democrats or "not GOP." Sure, Democrats generally have better policies than Republicans, but these last few years, we've had some incompetent politicians from both parties. The ratio from both parties is starting to look the same. I guarantee you that a big majority of Biden voter's are regretting their vote today. Why? Because they don't do any research and just jump to consequences. We either need more parties like other countries, or stop focusing on the party and look at each candidate individually.

Listen he was the only choice to vote for sadly but not my choice personally. He really is “sleepy Joe”. He stumbles his words and misspeaks. He’s fucked the border and Afghanistan. Kamala is AWOL as a leader but she is shopping and her FUG step daughter is “modeling” now cause of her famous name. Hunters a crack smoking, sneaky, dead beat dad and GAS PRICES + INFLATION. We are FUCKED! The crime is Way worse Than the Terrible Trump years so it’s just 4 more shit show years in other areas. I’d take Trumps crime stances but not his fake religious pandering to get the far right votes. He’s always been friends of gays and fine with abortion but he went all in when he realized the fringe conservatives LOVE HIM so he said what they wanted to hear. His 2 eldest sons should be shot with their hunting rifles. Ivanka is definitely her fathers sexual toy (gagging as I type that) so she’s so far gone with how he’s manipulated her since birth. Tiffany he didn’t acknowledge and Barron clearly LOATHES them all (Hopefully he escaped their cult and runs free to be himself). Biden sucks but as a human he’s a bit better yet he’s too soft and gives criminals a wrist slap whilst victims are left to pick up the pieces of their ruined lives. Crime is out of the world insane. The woke bullshit is over the top. I hate the country right now.

Trump set up the Afghanistan withdrawal as a trap, and the GOP assumed the new president (if it wasn't Trump) would reneg on the deal or something similar. They didn't believe Biden would actually call their bluff and withdraw troops. He did and the war profiteers went nuts, angry that their profits from this never-ending war were cut off. That translated into the corporate media slamming Biden continuously, mostly in revenge.
It's always about money. Always.

Considering that Donald J.

I take that back. No way has Biden gotten more negative press this year than Trump did last year. However, it seems that the press isn't acknowledging Biden's accomplishments as much as his failures.
I think Trump's negative press outweighs all.

Since Trump left office, the ratings at MSNBC and, in particular, CNN have tanked significantly. There best hope is to have Trump get re-elected so that their ad revenues increase. That being said, I think that the way this research was conducted is suspect. Just based on my own experience, the press was never positive (except Fox) whenever Trump's name was mentioned last year. At least Biden gets some positive coverage most days (again, except Fox).

He didn't subvert the electoral process, he asked for a fair and open recount, which he never got.
There is no way in hell anyone can truthfully say Biden got more negative press. The mainstream media has gone to great lengths to hide his son's deeds alone. Even Jimmy Carter and Reagan were blasted more for their loser relations.
Yet when real issues with Hunter existed they refused to report on it.

"Under Biden, the American economy has recovered from its Trump-era lows with remarkable speed. Just a year ago, the unemployment rate sat stubbornly at 6.7 percent. Today, only 4.2 percent of Americans are out of work. Similar economic recoveries have normally taken three times as long. The Biden administration is delivering on the fastest sustained economic recovery in American history, yet its messaging struggles to tell that story."

Bidens violent lying woke pick for US Attorney General should be in jail not being handed a coveted job. She had a road rage incident where she faked being a cop to scare the woman she was chasing and she went apeshit on the media for simple questions the other day. She looks like she just came out of WalMart with her sloppy bun and ghetto mouth. She’s a diversity hire with a chip on her shoulder.
